Hahahaha! Finally got him! He's worth the wait, and better than expected. Hard to photograph him well, he's just too bright!

I'm not a huge fan of the oversized plastic bubble packaging – but I'm surprised how well they managed to capture the feel of the era's packaging. Hit me right in the nostalgia (aided by the scuffed and cracked plastic).

I was just rereading the Axiom Nexus News from May 19th 2015, when they were interviewing Needlenose…
—
They have to be willing to trust me *COMPLETELY*. Put their image in my hands. Sometimes all they need is a new coat of electronic paint. A Mirage came in the other day in a *RIDICULOUS* blue and white scheme. By the time he left, he was wearing lavender and green, with the most *DELIGHTFUL* alligator pattern on his side.
—
So this is how Mirage got this paint job…
…but the conspiracy theory goes deeper. We know from other Fun Pub stories that the spark that was taken by SG Alpha Trion, then used by Cy-Kill to bring the Renegade Jig Saw to life was that of a "Mirage".
So somewhere on Axiom Nexus there was a Mirage body with someone else's spark inside it, someone who found himself abandoned and possible hunted after Alpha Trion left the city. What would he do? Maybe try to hide himself by getting a new paint job?
Now it all makes sense. This is someone else in Mirage's body! Who would be comfortable in that deco with an alligator print? Skullcruncher!
TRANZ4MR
I agree.
I'm hoping TE will release a CLEAR or TRANSITION Mirage after their initial release!

If anyone is still looking for this guy, I have one for sale at a great price
Please check out my thread on the Transformers on eBay forum

Seems so. Well, A3U had it up for that crazy price, but I wasn't going to pay that much! I had plenty of time to put in a pre-order with PSX, but so much stuff was coming out around that time I left it to the fates- if it was going to be available with one of the NA vendors at a decent price later, then I'd get it then. Otherwise I would take it as a sign that I've spent enough already. Not that this hasn't been a ridiculously expensive year with everything that's come out even in just the past couple months.

Yeah did that Pharaoh one turn out to be a convention/PSExpress exclusive? Don't think I ever saw any more available. Disappointing, I wish more people could have had a chance to get one.

FINALLY got him today, it only took a month!

Still disappointed I couldn't get my hands on a Sphinx Pharaoh, but what can you do? Alas, I also have no g2 Autobot symbols, so he and Beachcomber currently have no badge/the wrong badge.

Did a review of this guy, including loads of pics – link in my sig below.

Ugh…when is the Dojo gonna get their allotment in?
There’s a watermelon colored emptiness in my collection…

@mcart I have never been into clear versions of characters but I do regret passing on Liger back when you could still find him at retail. I’d love to pick one up but not at the current going price.
mcart
Yeah honestly I'm not sure I'm sold on this mold.
I'll let you guys determine if I think he's good or not…

I was sooooo gutted at TFCON LA,.dropped a.small fortune trying to get that gold duck. Only for some guy to buy 1 and win it. Ain't it always the way?!!

This may be moot now but if you take the number after the “/“ in your tracking number and put it into USPS that should work. @godotislate clued me in to that.
I got mine on Friday (along with Pharaoh) but didn’t get to mess with him until today. This is a great, great deco. He looks so sharp. The colors come off really well in hand, just as vibrant as they should be with no defects or artifacts that I can see. No issues with transformation, seems just as quality in build as the original. My only nitpick is I wish they’d given us a toon head as an option. Just not a big fan of the sculpt on the toy head, it looks very skeletal and angular. Works on Pharaoh but not so much on this one, imo.
Also, it could use a bit more color breakup on the face. I know the G2 artwork has a mono color head but this is one of those times when total fidelity should be set aside in favor of aesthetic upgrade. The yellow eyes look great as does the contrast between the two greens, but I think it would have looked even better if it had a paint job similar to OM Liger’s, with a more contrasting color on the side crests and lower jaw.
But those are nitpicks, I love the figure and will be putting him somewhere prominent, maybe even my desk at work. I appreciate MMC and @LazyAza making this deco a reality after all these years!

According to tracking mine hit LA a couple of days ago. Nothing on USPS so not sure what shipment company they are using in the states but LA is only 2 hours from me

Understand. If they make new batches of him like they seem to have done with Ratbat and G2, I’d get a second for that beautiful altmode. But it seems they won’t, so I’ll report if I come across him. Nothing whatsoever so far though, he’s vanished into the underworld.
mcart
Yeah, I'd consider that too but mainly I like to see the figures I own with other people too, odd for a collector but I don't like to be the only person with a certain toy, not when I see others really want it. Especially one with a cool Deco like this.
Digger
Huh, looks like he’s kinda just a normal release now.
Laserpants
Yeah it’s weird that he’s nowhere. Perhaps they didn’t make many of him. That’s one figure I wouldn’t mind having two of.
